About Us

Thira in Malayalam language means 'wave'. Malayalam is spoken by about 35 million people in the southern Indian state of Kerala. It has a long coast line, with numerous rivers, ponds, lakes and backwaters. Known for it's natural beauty, it is also called 'God's own country'.

Fish and tapioca are the staple food of the local people. Coconut, from which the state derives it's name from (Kerala), can also be found in abundance. It is liberally used in almost all the food preparations and its oil is the medium of cooking.

The scintillating Masala Dosa (rice and lentil pancake with spicy potato stuffing) is ranked 9th in the world's most favourite food.

The refreshing arrival of 'Thira' in Blackbun will provide it's people with authentic Kerala cuisine (from the dishes to the decor).
